Chocolate Sauce

The countdown is on! Only 9 days until Christmas and town is getting hectic with the last minute present shopping and food grabs. I’ll admit I will have to join the fray of the next couple of days. I am one of the last minute Christmas shoppers. *sigh*.

But enough about Christmas, you’re here for the Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding. In my opinion this is the BEST chocolate self-saucing pudding there is. I have made this pudding hundreds of times and is my families favourite. As a child it was my go-to dessert and what I love about this chocolate self-saucing pudding is it is so easy to whip up last minute and have on the table in less than 40 minutes.

Cookie Dough Ice Cream Bomb is an over-the-top frozen treat that consists of a cookie dough case and filled with ice cream, chocolate sauce, white chocolate ganache, KitKats and finished off with Nutella and more white chocolate ganache! Seriously one of the best ice cream desserts you will ever eat and its really not hard to make! I mean, who doesn’t love an ice cream bomb?

If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen that I recently hit 1000 followers and counting! I know it’s not much but it’s a new milestone for LCB and I’m over the moon! You may have also seen that I said I had a special recipe to celebrate. Well. Here it is! A cookie dough ice cream bomb. Fit for any celebration.

Throw away any store bought chocolate sauces because I have the only chocolate sauce recipe you will ever need. This uses simple ingredients, uses one pot and takes no more than 10 minutes to make and tastes 1000x better than any store bought chocolate sauce!

Fun Fact: I have only bought chocolate sauce once – perhaps twice – in my lifetime! I never really put chocolate sauce on my ice cream and if I ever needed it for baking I would always just throw a few ingredients in a pan and make my own. Honestly, it has never really crossed my mind to actually buy some and after years of just throwing ingredients in a pan and hoping for the best, I decided to actually develop and recipe that I – and you! – can follow to make the best chocolate sauce you will have at home!

Let me explain: This healthy freak shake is made free dairy free ice cream mixed with coconut cream and is smothered in layer upon layer of finely ground macadamias and almonds, brownie pieces, honey (or maple syrup if making this is vegan) and chocolate sauce, topped with a piece or two of brownie.
